Moody's Investors Service has upgraded SK Hynix Inc.'s issuer rating to Baa2 from Baa3. "The upgrade reflects SK Hynix's improving business profile, as well as our expectation that SK Hynix will maintain robust profitability and strong financial metrics through the industry cycles," says Sean Hwang, a Moody's Analyst. Moody's expects SK Hynix to gradually enhance its competitiveness in the NAND flash business over the next 1-2 years, as it accelerates its migration to high-density 3D NAND products and increase its presence in high-end product categories, such as solid state drives for enterprise customers.

SK Telecom (SKM) is South Korea's largest wireless communications company, serving over 30 million customers. It also owns and operates SK Broadband, which has 5.5 million internet users and 4.6 million television customers, and has a 20% stake in SK Hynix, the world's fifth-largest semiconductor company. Korea is typically on the cutting edge in telecom.

The importance of President Donald Trump’s recent meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un cannot be overstated. Instead, Trump demonstrated previously inconspicuous restraint. With this sudden shift toward rapprochement, President Trump may have secured his reelection.

Moody's Investors Service says that the Korean government's (Aa2 stable) policy goal to reduce mobile fees will lower revenues for the mobile segments of the country's telecommunications companies -- including SK Telecom Co., Ltd. (SKT, A3 negative) and KT Corporation (KT, A3 stable) -- and weaken their profitability and credit metrics. "The tariff-cutting measures already implemented by the government will reduce SKT's and KT's mobile revenues by 3%-4% in 2018 and 2% in 2019, which will in turn raise their respective adjusted debt/EBITDA by 0.1x to 2.3x and 1.9x in 2018-19," says Sean Hwang, a Moody's Analyst.

Moody's Investors Service has revised to negative from stable the outlook on SK Telecom Co., Ltd.'s (SKT) A3 issuer rating, and the A3 senior unsecured rating of its $500 million bonds due 2023 and $400 million notes due 2027. At the same time, Moody's has affirmed both ratings. "SKT's negative ratings outlook reflects our expectation that if the company's acquisition of ADT Caps is completed, it will raise SKT's debt leverage, at a time when its core mobile business remains under pressure due to lower mobile tariffs," says Sean Hwang, a Moody's Analyst.
